Eating Dalaman – Tao

May16

Restaurant: Tao

Location: Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa. Sarıgerme, Tourism Center, 48610 Ortaca/Muğla, Türkiye

Date: June 29, 2023

Cuisine: Tepanyaki

Rating: Hmmm

Tao is the “Asian” restaurant at the Dalaman. They have this pan-Asian menu and a separate sub section for Teppan-Yaki which is what we did.

Fried rice almost ready.
1A4A7484
Fried Rice. They used Turkish long grain rice instead of Japanese rice. It was plesant, but a bit different.
1A4A7482
Terrayaki sauce on the left and “yum yum” (sweet mayo) on the right.

Eating Dalaman – Alize

May13

Restaurant: Alize

Location: Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa. Sarıgerme, Tourism Center, 48610 Ortaca/Muğla, Türkiye

Date: June 28, 2023

Cuisine: Vaguely Italian restaurant

Rating: Great Hotel restaurant

_

Alize is the Italian restaurant at the Hilton. Over in the main part of the complex they have the big buffet restaurant, Sarigeme and a number of more specific cuisines.The format at the non-buffet restaurants is a bit more gentile. There is a very small “supplemental” charge (beyond the baseline all-inclusive rate), and you order off the menu instead, but they are also AYCE. So they have a format a bit like a cruise ship where you could just keep ordering stuff. In practice, you would become quickly full.

1A4A7415
The menu.
IMG_8585
Lovely patio.
1A4A7416
Bread.
1A4A7420
Amuse plate.
1A4A7422
Another amuse of bruschetta, Turkish style. No pork, of course.
1A4A7430
Buratta Cheese. Truffle, Warm Tomato Pestil.
1A4A7442
Summer Breeze Salad. Stracciatella Cheese, Peach, Strawberry, Colourful Baby Tomatoes Basil and Pomegranate Seeds with Olive Oil Vinaigrette.
1A4A7435
Caesar Salad. Shaved Parmesan Cheese, Caesar Dressing and Focaccia Croutons.
1A4A7437
Pumpkin Ravioli. Sage, Pumpkin, Cream, Parmesan Cheese and Roasted Peanuts. Very cheesy! Couldn’t really taste the pumpkin, but I liked the goopy sauce so it was nice.
1A4A7444
Pomegranite sorbet.
1A4A7425
Plain pasta.
1A4A7427
French fries.
1A4A7449
Pan Seared John Dory. Potato Gnocchi, Spinach, Marjoram and Porcini Mushroom Ragout.
1A4A7455
Mushroom Risotto. Porcini Mushrooms, Heavy Cream and Parmesan Cheese.
1A4A7448
Osso Buco alla Milanese. Milanese Style Osso Bucco with Saffron Risotto. Not bad, although the risotto wasn’t perfect and was perhaps undersalted.
1A4A7456
Tea.
1A4A7458
Chocolate ice cream.
1A4A7460
Tiramisu. Baileys Syrup and Tiramisu Cream, Lady Fingers, with Coffee and Cantucci Biscuits.
1A4A7463
1A4A7464

1A4A7468
Crème Brûlée. Thyme and Basil, Milk, Cream, and French Merengue.

Alize was a substantial cut above the dinner buffet. And to start with, the buffet food was actually quite good, with tons of options, but a have my particular “beef” with the buffet forma. It’s not about food quality or taste, but about the pacing of the meal. They are great for breakfast, but particularly on a vacation, buffets aren’t very fun for dinner. The pacing is way too fast — after a quick trip you are stuffed — and half the time half your table is up and away so any attempts are conversation are foiled. Everyone seems to be on their own pacing.

Eating Göcek – Güverte

This was a recommended fish restaurant in Göcek Turkey.

Yogurt with tomatoes and eggplant.
1A4A7401
This yogurt had tahini in it. I’m not as big a fan of it that way. It can be hard to tell all the yogurt platters apart by visual inspection.
1A4A7402
Marinated anchovies are always great.
1A4A7403
Artichokes.
1A4A7405
Eggplant baked with shrimp and seafood with cheese. Quite good, if slightly over baked. A kitchen may have shared this dish with me.
1A4A7409
Red Snapper. Meatier than the usual sea bass.
1A4A7410
Fish restaurants have a very “tried and true” formula — and they really sort of get you on the price of the fish.

Eating Dalaman – Vela

May07

Restaurant: Vela

Location: Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa. Sarıgerme, Tourism Center, 48610 Ortaca/Muğla, Türkiye

Date: June 25, 2023

Cuisine: Modern Turkish Fish restaurant

Rating: Great Hotel restaurant

On the final phase of our Türkiye trip we stayed at the Dalaman Hilton Resort, which is owned by friends of ours.

It’s is a true gem nestled in the heart of Turkey’s breathtaking landscape. With its luxurious accommodations offering panoramic views of the majestic mountains and the serene Aegean Sea, it’s a paradise for those seeking relaxation and adventure alike. Its close proximity to some of the most stunning beaches in the region adds to its allure. The resort’s world-class amenities, coupled with the vibrant local culture and cuisine, make it a perfect getaway for creating unforgettable memories. It truly encapsulates the magic and beauty of Turkey.

On our first night at Dalaman we went to a big group dinner with our friends at the hotel’s fish restaurant, Vela. This is an updated take on the familiar — if you’ve been reading these posts — “fish restaurant formula.”

1A4A6975
Bread.
1A4A6976
Humus, yogurt. starting out a monster wave of mezze.
1A4A6978
Artichoke.
1A4A6979
Yogurt with tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
1A4A6981
Sea Bass. Avocado and Salsa, Mustard, Truffle Oil, Lemon and Basil.
1A4A6984
Marinated Shrimp and Roasted Aubergine. Strained Yogurt with Tomato and Tapenade.
1A4A6988
This was some kind of unusual “meat.” I can’t remember what, but it was good.
1A4A6990
Fried Calamari.
1A4A6993
Shepard’s Salad. Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Walnuts.
1A4A6998
Greek Salad. Tomato, Ezine White Cheese, Red Onion with Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing
1A4A6995
Aegean Style Shrimp Casserole. Mushrooms, Tomato and Peppers.
1A4A7005
Grilled Rock Bass. Arugula Leaves, Roasted Potatoes, Capers and Lemon Dressing.
1A4A7019
Fruit.
1A4A7018
Birthday cake.

1A4A7024
This largely thick whipped cream icing cake was pretty delicious, actually. I do like whipped cream. It was super light and refreshing.
1A4A7026
Tea.
1A4A7030
Cucumbers with lime. Interesting finish — but actually worked very well.
1A4A7006

Very solid update take on the classic fish restaurant — and our massive group had a blast.

Eating Bodrum – Maçakizi

May05

Restaurant: Maçakizi

Location: Göltürkbükü, Narçiçeği Sokak, 48400 Göltürkbükü Bodrum/Bodrum/Muğla, Türkiye

Date: June 24, 2023

Cuisine: Modern Turkish

Rating: Hotel restaurant, but good

Macakizi is another top rated hotel resteraunt. We picked it because of the Turkish inspired modernist menu — I can have international anywhere.

The menu. Unfortunately again I can’t do the tasting menu because it’s a whole table sort of thing.
1A4A6754
Wine of the night.
1A4A6758
Macakizi culinary garden salad. tomato, fennel, squash, fresh herbs.
1A4A6762
Cheese pizza-like bread.
1A4A6774
Sea bass Crudo. Compressed melon, buckwheat, yuzu vinaigrette, radish sprouts. very nice light acidic salty sea bass crudo. The cubed melon leant some nice texture and a hint of sweetness.
1A4A6791
Calamarata Pasta Cacio e Peppe with Blue Crab Meat. Crushed black peppercorns, parmesan, butter. Interesting combo which was effective. I might have liked the emulsion of the sauce a touch thicker, but the pasta was perfectly al dente and the pepper butter paired perfectly with the crab.

1A4A6785
Summer Tomato Risotto. Stracciatella, basil butter. Very nice “tomato sauce” flavored rissoto. Proper mancurata and starchy emulsion on the rice.
1A4A6788
Fire roasted sea bass. Wild greens, miso & smoked aubergine broth.
1A4A6801
Aged day boat Grouper. Morel mushroom, roasted chicken jus. The broth was a touch thin, so it didn’t cling to the firm meat like I might have liked. But overall pretty good.
1A4A6811
The dessert menu.
1A4A6813
1A4A6825
Pavlova / Strawberry Compte / Buffalo Milk Yogurt Ice Cream / Yogurt Foam. The best of the 3 desserts and a quite lovely mix of sugary merignue and fruit.
1A4A6818
Creme Brulee / White Chocolate & Walnut Cake. Sort of halfway between a pastry and creme brulee, but very tasty.
1A4A6828
Pistachio & Dark Chocolate Bar / Bodrum Clementine Sorbet. The weakest of the 3 desserts, but still very nice. Good mix of soft and crunchy texture with the dark chocolate, pistachio, and orange tones very effective together.
1A4A6829
Overall, a great place. Atmosphere was lovely and the food was in the top 3 or so meals we’ve had in Turkey so far. One of us rated it their favorite, the next their second favorite. I think the desserts were the best we’ve had for sure. Apps and pastas were a bit stronger than the fish mains.

Great bread and awesome soft parsley butter.
1A4A6610
Other type of bread.
1A4A6613
1A4A6617
Hummus, Wild mushroom, crispy onion, organic paprika butter, poppy seeds.
1A4A6632
Black Mussel, Rice with Mussel, Goat Cheese. Delicious, particularly the cheese sauce (the white stuff). This is a play on the Turkish street food (stuffef mussels).
1A4A6651
Goat Cheese Manti. Carameliaed Pear Sauce, Green Apple. These were incredible. Great al dente fresh paste texture and sweet brown butter type sauce.
1A4A6638
Salmon Confit, Sorrel, Potato, Lemon Cream. My wife loved this.
1A4A6655
Lamb Shank, Porcini Mushroom Orzo, Lamb Jus. Melt in your mouth lamb. The demi-glace in the orzo was very addictive.
1A4A6672
White Chocolate Yogurt Mousse, Raspberry Sorbet, Cherry Sauce. This was the best of the desserts — really nice.
1A4A6660
Kazandibi Ice Cream, Caramelized Nuts, Cinnamon. Oddball dulce de leche-like sauce underneath.
1A4A6669
Baklava Ice Cream, Crispy Phyllo Dough, Pistachio. I didn’t adore this. The ice creams were super hard and dense (Turkish style). Just a real Baklava with vanilla or white ice cream would have been tastier.
1A4A6676
Kitchen Bodrum was arguably the best kitchen so far this trip. Really great tasting dishes. Service and atmosphere were great as well.

Condiments for the fries.

Gorgeous beachside cafe with a big menu and excellent execution. The prices however are otherworldly, particularly for Turkey. Mezze are 4x what they were at Gio Rooftop and that’s also a “snazy” hotel restaurant.

Oksa is a classic “fish restaurant.”
1A4A5968
Turkish and Greek restaurants have this distinction between “fish” and “meat” places.
1A4A5970
Nice seaside seating.

Most traditional Turkish places, and in particular ALL the fish places, have a giant cabinet(s) of mezze to choose from.

Cuisine: Modern Turkish

Rating: Hotel restaurant, but good

Old Town Tanneries is a restaurant cluster installed in a group of restored tannery buildings. These were in use from the 1930-60s and have been lovingly restored. They are also part of the Hilton and were restored, owned, and operated by the same lovely people who manage Gio.
IMG_8500
The net result is a very attractive “neighborhood” of charming stone structures.
IMG_8501
IMG_8499
Our big 12 person table. We ate here with a big group of family and friends.
1A4A5432
Mezze, of course.
1A4A5430
Bread.
1A4A5435
These “Turkish Spring Rolls” were delicious with the dips.
1A4A5433
Beans.
1A4A5438
Yogurt with purslane.
1A4A5440
Spinach.
1A4A5442
Humus with Beef Speck. The crispy beef resembles bacon.
1A4A5446
Feta and Walnuts in olive oil with basil. Quite delicious with a bit of a pesto-like tone.
1A4A5447
Yoghurt with Spicy Oil. This was actually REALLY spicy, much to my (pleased) surprise. Seriously hot actually.
1A4A5453
Asparagus with cheese.
1A4A5452
Salad. A touch under-dressed for my taste.
1A4A5455
Shrimp with Chili Peppers and Garlic Butter. Very tender shrimp and more or less like “gambas pil pil.”
1A4A5458
Fried Calamari. Quite excellent seafood fry. The sauce was more or less like a yogurt version of tartar sauce.
1A4A5461
Grilled Sea Bass. Fresh potatoes and baby vegetables.
1A4A5466
This time we remembered to have it filleted.
1A4A5463
Beef slices with garlic and cheese. I’m not sure exactly what was going on here but it was delicious.
1A4A5467
Lamb. Very tender and flavorful.
1A4A5472
Pistachio Creme with Ice Cream. This was pretty insanely good. The crepe was stuffed with chopped pistachios (and probably some form of sugar or syrup. The ice cream was made from goat cheese and is very dense.
1A4A5479
Fruit.
1A4A5481
Turkish Tea.
IMG_8503
Overall, a great meal — in no small part because of good company. There were some various Turkish wines as well, fairly generic but quaffable Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc mostly.

Eating Izmir – The Bazaar

Apr17

Restaurant: The Bazaar

Location: Izmir Turkiye

Date: June 20, 2023

Cuisine: Turkish street food

Rating: Hotel restaurant, but good

_

This meal consists of food from 3 different places in the Izmir Bazaar.
1A4A5236
Pictured here is a Pide restaurant that provided the Cheese Pide below. Most of the savory food came from a homestyle place. The desserts from a third.
1A4A5239
The homestyle place showed most of its dishes in casserole dishes for selection. They are then plated and heated. Or perhaps they are warm in the casaroles. This is very similar to what I saw in Greece in the late 1980s.
1A4A5240
1A4A5255
On the table were some peppers.
1A4A5237
Artichoke, dill, potatoes etc. This must be the more old fasioned version of the dish we had the previous night.
1A4A5242
Vegetables with yogurt.
1A4A5245
Stuffed peppers and grape leaves with yogurt. Both were warm and stuffed with seasoned rice and vegetables.
1A4A5248
Sour Meat Balls. Beef meat balls in a sour yogurt sauce with a light dill flavor. Quite delicious actually.

1A4A5250
Mackerel Soup. This very yummy soup had a strong, but delicious, mackerel taste and a good hit of dill.
1A4A5251
Lamb Shank. Doesn’t look like much but the tender and fatty meat was delicious. #Izmir #Turkey #lamb #shank
1A4A5257
Chicken au Grfatin. While ugly as well, this “chicken casserole” was quite delicious. Mildly cheesy with a bit of a bechemel thing going on.
1A4A5259
Cheese Pide.
1A4A5278
This vendor sold what I think are various kinds of Revani (syrupy cake).
1A4A5273
Walnut Cake. I believe this is a semolina flour cake with walnut and soaked in a honey-like syrup.
1A4A5264
The Walnut Revani was served with a blob of “whipped cream” — more like clotted cream. It was pretty insanely delicious too. It has some taste and texture resemblance to Tres Leches Cake.

1A4A5274
A different variant, maybe the one shown in the round pan.
1A4A5275
A pistachio variety.
1A4A5268
They have the dense Turkish ice cream as well.
1A4A5271
A huge scoop of Chocolate Ice Cream.

On our first night in Kuşadası, within “striking range” of Ephesus, Aphrodisias and more we ate at the gorgeous rooftop restaurant atop the Hilton. P.s. it should be noted that the Aegean was named after Theseus’ father Aegeus.
1A4A4954
1A4A4964-Pano
Gio Rooftop Restaurant offers not only a splendid view of the Aegean but a hybrid of the fish and meat restaurant types with a bit of internationalism. Yes, they have the mezzes, but they aren’t displayed in hotel pans by the entrance and they have a more international style of appetizers and entrees.

1A4A4978
1A4A4965
1A4A4966
1A4A4967
1A4A4968
1A4A4969
The menu.
1A4A4974
Bread — this is Turkey after all.
1A4A4972
Muhammara. Pretty, with a bit of fresh cheese and olives. A touch dry and medium spicy.
1A4A4985
Basically the local white wine choices are Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. There are some local grapes but they are hard to find.
1A4A4990
Haloumi Cheese wrapped in Grape Leaves with Yogurt.
1A4A4995
Yoghurt with Spicy Oil. This was actually REALLY spicy, much to my (pleased) surprise. Seriously hot actually.
1A4A4997
Feta and Walnuts in olive oil with basil. Quite delicious with a bit of a pesto-like tone.
1A4A5000
Spicy Feta with Tomatoes. Not particularly spicy but nice.
1A4A5010
Green beans and Tomatoes. This is a classic.
1A4A5007
Marinated Artichoke with peas, carrots, and potatoes. Very yummy.
1A4A5002
Fried Calamari. Quite excellent seafood fry. The sauce was more or less like a yogurt version of tartar sauce.
1A4A5003
Shrimp with Chili Peppers and Garlic Butter. Very tender shrimp and more or less like “gambas pil pil.”
1A4A4988
Marinated Red Beet Carpaccio. Mediterranean Greens, Cottage Cheese (they mean literally, not UK/US style), walnuts and balsamic vinegar.
1A4A5012
Penne with Red Sauce.
1A4A5020
Porcini Mushroom Risotto with cream and Parmesan cheese. A bit heavy as I don’t think the rice was propper Italian short grain rice.
1A4A5021
Grilles Sea Bass. Fresh potatoes and baby vegetables. We wish we had them filet it.
1A4A5027
Some mixed seafood including octopus and more calimari.
1A4A5025

Slow-Cooked Duck. Phyllo, hoisin sauce and plum sauce. Sort of a Turkish take on Peking Duck, The meat itself was a little closer to braised, but was marinated in a hoisinlike sauce and very sweet and tender. Real hoisin strips adorned the plates. Overall very enjoyable with and without pancakes.

1A4A5023
The pancakes were Turkish-style lavash — but they worked.
1A4A4970
The D menu.
1A4A5030
Chocolate Dome Cake. Inside was a dense mouse with a biscuit layer underneath and a very strong raspberry-jelly-like sauce.
1A4A5015
I’m normally a little wary of hotel restaurants in the United States as they tend to be corporate and generally awful, but abroad they can be a bit more modern and vibrant. This one was a lot of fun and quite delicious.

After Cappadocia we headed west to the Coast for more ruins — in this case the ancient city of Pergamon.
1A4A4743
Touristy but decent spot our guide brought us to in the city of Pergamon (aka modern Bergama). Many Turkish restaurants fall into the broad meat or fish format. This is a typical meat restauant.
IMG_8488
IMG_8487
They do have a wood fired oven and bake their own bread. A place at this level in the US would be highly unlikely to have an oven like this.
1A4A4751
Fresh baked bread.
1A4A4745
Mezzes. Chickpeas.
1A4A4746
Yoghurt with spicy chili oil.
1A4A4748
Spicy eggplant and tomato.
1A4A4757
Cheese Pide.
1A4A4754
Baked vegetables with cheese. This is a typical “vegetarian” entree option.
1A4A4756
Cous cous. The orange tint is from a bit of paprika.
1A4A4761
Spicy Kofte Plate. Beef/lamb kebob with lavash and a bit of cous cous. The meat itself was a blend of beef and lamb and fairly mild spices.
1A4A4763
Baklava and Turkish Ice Cream. This is a traditional (and delicious) combo — if ridiculously sweet. Classic Baklava (of two types) with that dense style of goat cheese ice cream the Turks prefer. It has almost zero overun, a very gummy texture, and a high sugar level.
IMG_8489
Overall, an enjoyable quick lunch.

We returned to Nahita for dinner.
1A4A3958
Nahita is the more “traditional” of the two restaurants at the Argos Cappodocia.1A4A4661
Inspired and nourished by its Anatolian roots, respectful of its geography, history, and cultural continuity, Nahita, the new star of Anatolian cuisine, harbors the mindfulness that lacks in the new world. Nahita’s “good” sense and approach is reflected throughout its philosophy, narrative, service, and dishes.
1A4A4662
1A4A4663
Overall, I liked Nahita’s food slightly better than Seki as it’s more Anatolian and less international. We ate dinner outside at both and they both have nice views/terraces, but the immediacy of the Seki view is definitely superior. Service is great at both.
1A4A4664
Emir is a nice local white grape, acidic and armomatic at the same time.
1A4A4667
Lavash, farmer’s cheese, and flavored butter.
1A4A4674
Bread.
1A4A4681
Zucchini Fritters. Zucchini, halloumi, sesame, red basil, labneh,and strained toghurt. Great minty flavor.
1A4A4685
Stuffed vine leaves with Sour Cherry. Leaves from Argos vineyqrds, caramelized onion, rice, currant cinnamon, dill and oilive oil
1A4A4687
Shepherd’s Salad with Comlek Cheese, tomato, cucumber, red onion and homemade Nevshehir phyllo pastry.
1A4A4708
1A4A4675
Meat balls and fries.
1A4A4678
Yogurt and tomato sauce for the meatballs.
1A4A4692
Pan-fried liver. Charbroiled eggplant with yogurt and garlic, pickled red onion, dill, spring onion, thyme and chili flake. The onion and yogurt helped offset the “liver factor.”
1A4A4702
Orzo with eggplant and olives.
1A4A4699
Grilled lamb loin. Eggplant with garlic, Nahita pita bread and homemade tomato sauce with butter, Meat was again a touch over-cooked. Potatos were great.
1A4A4704
Veal shank. Carrot, celerey and potato. Like a family beef stew,

Our first dinner in Cappadocia — since we came in during the middle of the night on the night prior.
1A4A4468
Seki Restaurant, which takes its name (meaning “terraces on the slopes”) from the lush green terraces of our hotel, has been etched in the minds and taste buds of its guests with different layers of flavor that live up to its name. Located in one of the oldest and largest monasteries in the world, above the cellar, one of the prime locations of this area, Seki is the most awarded and most popular restaurant in the Cappadocia region.
1A4A4418
My sludge.
1A4A4421
Excellent bread.
1A4A4419
A dip of breadcrumbs and fish roe and olives in oilive oil. Very addictive.
1A4A4423
Peasant Salad. Cucumbers, tomatoes, walnuts etc.
1A4A4428
Tomato Salad with Walnut. Red Onion, Green Onion, Pomegranate Syrup and
Sumac Sauce.
1A4A4429
Penne with tomato sauce.
1A4A4437
Homemade ‘İçli Köfte’. Strained Yoghurt and Butter Sauce. I do love these meat and yogurt balls.
1A4A4442
The inside.
1A4A4444
Our red wine. We had a white, but I forgot to get a photo.
1A4A4445
Salmon. Mustard Potato, Sautéed Radish, Asparagus and
Beurre Blanc Sauce with Horseradish.
1A4A4452
1A4A4432
Beef Filet Marinated in Fenugreek for 28 Hours. Deglaze Sweetbread, Caramelized Brussels Sprout and Lake Sauce. Cabbage too.
1A4A4456
Rack of Lamb. Artichoke Purée, Caramelized Pickled Shallot, Apricot Jam and Lamb Gravy Flavored with Licorice. The lamb was supposed to be medium rare, but was closer to medium well. Gravy was just gravy and the puree a bit bland. Not bad but not very exciting.
1A4A4461
Tiramisu. Almond Biscuit and Strawberry. Not a bad tiramisu.
1A4A4463
Crispy Pumpkin Dessert. Walnut, Clotted Cream and Tahini Sauce. Interesting. Very nice texture with the sugar-coated pumpkin and the cream. Pretty addictive.
1A4A4466
Date Dessert with Figs. Coconut Milk Foam and Orange Sauce. Datey!
